the dreaded day has finally arrived.

"...sir."

danny stands opposite his underboss — a man he'd hoped to never meet. he swallows, approaching with a hesitant step.

Gavin's countenance is as cold as the bitter air within Shoal Cave.

Danny approaches, and the only warning he'll get is the way that Gavin's fingers curl at his side. But it's not likely to be warning enough, for miasma swirls around Rocket's underboss and grants him unexpected swiftness as he pulls back and punches Danny in the face.

He's aiming to break something, to cause even a fraction of the pain that must've gone through on behalf of this piece of shit.

Then he'd reach for the throat, squeeze, dig his nails into flesh and cut off air supply. Slam his back against the wall.

"If you fuck with Serena again, I'll break your neck."

A compression of force, perhaps to show how easy it would be, before he lets go with a look of disgust.

even if danny had noticed the warning, the curling of the underboss' fingers, what could he have done? he is but a mere grunt, weak and powerless.

his nose breaks from the impact, and as blood starts to leak, he's pushed against the wall, neck being choked out. naturally, he struggles, bloodied hands reaching up to gavin's but whatever strength he has is little at best.

and when he finally is let go, he falls to the ground, gasping for air before raspy coughs take him. he doesn't even try to look up.

"y-yes...sir."

Ordinarily, Gavin does not relish in this part of his job. Violence is nothing more than a means to an end, and one he tries to avoid resorting to if it can be avoided. Now, though?

Danny crumples under the impact of his punch and blood sprays against throbbing knuckles that will surely bruise.

Worth it.

Gavin wipes the blood from his hand on his pants and scowls down at Danny.

"Get up. We've got a ways to go."

He starts walking further into Shoal Cave, sending out a dark-spined Sandslash who immediately burrows under the ice.

useless.

his hand balls against the cold ground stained only by his blood. he raises a hand to wipe at his nose, smearing red across his upper lip and cheek.

he's been hit harder by , but this one hurts much more.

a pokeball pops open. his clobbups slides up his shoulder, reaching one of its tentacles over to danny's nose. he turns his head away, standing.

"it's fine, fyodor."

and he follows after gavin.

Should Danny not speak, Gavin makes the rest of the trek in cold silence. Ice crunches beneath his boots, the only sound this far in apart from the rumble beneath the ice where his Sandslash burrows.

It bursts from beneath, and Gavin halts.

"Something's wrong."

Everything looks calm, but his Sandslash snarls and scores its long claws through the snow, leaving deep gouges.

"Be ready to fight."

danny does not speak, perhaps afraid what his words might stir within underboss merlino's cold visage. one broken nose is more than enough.

he stops when the sandslash bursts out of the ice.

"yes, sir."

his clobbopus slides up ahead, readying itself into a stance as it watches the ice.

"you got it, fyodor..."

because it DETECTS the steelix that erupts from the ground, roaring in a DRAGONBREATH.

There is no wind this deep in Shoal Cave but the miasma that swells around Gavin's figure bends with a breeze unseen, swirls around the Sandslash and grants it a burst of speed allowing it to erect a protective barrier the moment Steelix bursts from below.

A sandstorm is countered by a fierce flurry of hail from the snarling shrew, and Gavin lifts an arm to shield his face from the harsh, rapidly changing weather conditions.

The beam cast by his Rotom phone's flashlight catches on something embedded in the Steelix's side.

"We want whatever that is."

Which meant they had to take down the serpent, first.

"gotcha—"

he sticks his fingers into his mouth and whistles, sending his clobbopus flopping ahead.

"—sir!"

the roar of the steelix is muffled by the violent weather raging on around them. still, the glimmer from the gem in steelix's side persists.

"GET THE GEM!"

being the TECHNICIAN it is, clobbopus is easily able to close the distance before throwing a sharp BRICK BREAK into steelix's side.

Gavin's not sure if Danny is yelling at him or his Pokémon; in the heat of battle, it doesn't matter. Hail and sand pelt his exposed skin and he's forced to dodge a chunk of ice flung by the steel serpent's tail.

Chaotic though it was, it quickens his heart and sets his blood aflame with adrenaline.

It's thrashing about too much.

So Gavin throws out another pokeball, his Dhelmise's weight causing its anchor to sink a foot into the snow and ice. Ethereal chains of seaweed and shadow snake out with a whistle and a click of his tongue, wrapping around the great metal titan in a stranglehold.

"We'll hold it down!"

His Sandslash protects them from another violent attack as the chains pull tight.

suction cups keep clobbopus right on the steelix, allowing it to stay on despite the violent thrashing. dust and debris scatter, clouding their vision.

"yes, sir!"

he raises his arm to shield his eyes. he's barely able to make out the shapes but he sees the round form of his clobbopus sliding closer and closer to the gem. it BULKS UP, ready to strike at the gem in a few moments.

Dust sprays up in thick clouds. Gavin coughs, cursing his smoker's lungs as he doubles over with the force of it and struggles to breathe. His Sandslash keeps guard in the meantime, a violent blizzard howling through the cavern. A careful safeguard protects its own allies as the Steelix is set upon by bitter cold.

Frostbite forms along the steel segments of the titanic serpent, slowing it. Leaving an opening.

When Gavin recovers, he spots the Clobbopus in position.

"Now!" he calls, words rough in his throat. "While it's slowed!"

with the clobbopus in position due to the protective SAFEGUARD, the final blow comes easily.

"NOW!"

a decisive BRICK BREAK slams into the side of the gem, dislodging it away from steelix's body. it bounces along steel before dropping to the ground with a sad thud.

almost foolishly, danny lunges for it, wanting to keep it safe from being smashed by the steelix.

In spite of his loathing toward Danny, the sight of a Rocket in danger triggers the ferocity of his protective instinct.

"Arceus," he spits, then, "PROTECT!"

The Steelix, screeching in anger and agony, lifts its heavy tail with the intent to crush the offenders beneath its mass. At Gavin's command, given by shout rather than clicks or whistles to be heard over the din of battle, Sandslash throws itself into the path of Steelix's swing. There's a horrible, grating sound of metal-on-metal as they clash, hardened spines protecting the shrew from the worst of the impact even as its thrown aside by the force of it.

It leaps up from where it lands, snarling, and takes out all its frustrations in a killing blow.

"You trying to get yourself killed?" Gavin shakes his head, internally wincing from the pain in his eardrums. "Did you get it?"

With their foe defeated, the hail fades and leaves the cavern eerily silent.

after the chaos comes quiet, a temporary lull in the moment as HAIL and dust and dirt clear. when it finally settles, danny turns, pushing off the ground before holding up the precious gem in his hand.

"got it!"

his clobbopus comes sliding back towards him, soon latching on in some show of affection.

"we got it."
